Ruag (Booth No. 1313), the Swiss technology and defense corporation, has created or acquired six business aircraft maintenance and service establishments in Switzerland and Germany since its inception in 1999. It has now announced the setting up of a maintenance network linking the different shops into one operational unit called Ruag Aircraft Services Network. The goal is to exchange experience and personnel, to complement capabilities and to provide customers a full service portfolio near their base.
The oldest establishment in the chain is Ruag Oberpfaffenhofen, taken over from Dornier in 2003. It is the largest authorized Citation service center outside the U.S. and traditionally also services the Dornier 228 and 328 types. In 2008, it became an authorized maintenance center for all Bombardier jets as well, except the Learjet series. It is also active in interior refurbishment, and has a paint shop capable of accommodating up to single-aisle airliners and offers fleet management in addition to maintenance. With the help of Oberpfaffenhofen, the company has recently established a Cessna service center at Stuttgart airport.
